It’s Day 14 of my Whole30 journey and I am feeling great! Full of energy, not feeling that afternoon slump like I always did. I feel stronger, my clothes fit better and honestly just feel happier! I wanted to share with you one of my favorite things I have been enjoying for breakfast. Even before I started Whole30 scrambles have been a favorite for me to eat anytime of the day. I usually use what ever veggies I have on hand at the time. Scrambles are easy, fast, and so versatile! Perfect for a busy morning.

They are usually a little different each time I make them but this one consisted of egg, purple potatoes, bell pepper, green onions, carrots, avocado, and salsa. It cooks up in minutes, its filling and keeps me going strong til lunch.

I start by putting a little coconut oil in a saute pan, then place the thinly sliced purple potatoes in the pan and cook until they begin to get soft. (make sure you flip them) I then add the chopped bell pepper and carrots and cook for a few minutes. Then crack the egg in the pan add salt and pepper and mix it all together until the egg is cooked to your liking. Place in plate and top with avocado and salsa (this is the one I use it’s delicious and whole30 compliant)! That’s it and like I said feel free to swap out the veggies for what ever you have on hand.

After the holidays and one too many delicious desserts Jim and I decided that we needed to give up refined sugars for a little while. We just felt like our bodies needed a little break from sugar. We decided that we didn’t want to give up all sugar and were okay with using honey or maple syrup in moderation. I was browsing around Pinterest and stumbled on these. The ingredients sounded great. White Whole Wheat flour, no refined sugar, and carrots! I’ll let you in on a little secret here….I’m one of those few people that has never tried carrot cake. I know crazy right?! I decided to give these muffins a try and I’m so glad I did because they are delicious. Moist, full of flavor from the spices, and even a little crunch from the carrots. These are perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or a great addition to your child’s lunch box!

Our mornings have been really busy lately. Between getting the girls ready for the day, running, and whatever else has to be done, there’s not a lot of time for a decent breakfast. I don’t eat cereal. I sometimes have oatmeal made, but usually I end up cooking some sort of scramble with eggs and veggies. That’s where this idea for egg “muffins” came from.

These eggs bakes are tasty, super-simple to make, and keep well in the fridge. You can keep these in the fridge for a few days, so they are a good make-ahead dish for meal planners. Just pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds and they’re ready to go.

They’re grain free and pretty healthy. You could skip the cheese if you wanted to get even healthier. While we were testing this recipe we did have a version that included some quinoa too, but ultimately decided to leave it out. Add some cooked quinoa to the batter beforehand if you want to bulk these up a little more.

These little beauties are quite versatile too. You could go any different direction you wanted to with the flavorings. You could do turkey, ham, bacon for meat. Change up the veggies with broccoli, mushrooms, or spinach. Try some different cheeses, or no cheese at all. Lots of tasty potential combos here.

These quick and easy egg bakes are a flavorful make-ahead breakfast dish.

What do you do when you have an extra bunch of super ripe bananas sitting around…you make banana bread of course! My 2 girls request banana bread all the time so I have played around with making it lots of ways. This one is definitely a keeper. It is delicious, dense but still fluffy and moist and just sweet enough. Perfect for a quick breakfast in the morning or an afternoon snack when you get the munchies.

I love using coconut oil with this recipe and the coconut palm sugar is a healthier alternative to brown or white sugar.
